Edo-style wagashi (traditional Japanese confections)
How about giving Edo-style wagashi as a gift—treats that are exceptional in both appearance and taste? For example, a classic Edo wagashi, Fukiyose, is like a jewel box filled with assorted dry sweets with different looks, such as konpeitō and sugar-coated peanuts.
Traditional wagashi that have been enjoyed since the Edo period, like kuzumochi and yokan, would likely suit the palate of a woman in her nineties.
And unlike fresh confections, they keep well, making them perfect for gifts! It’s also thoughtful to check in advance for any dislikes or health considerations.
tumbler
As a practical gift for everyday use, a tumbler is a perfect present for residents of senior care facilities.
It combines design and functionality you wouldn’t expect to find at a 100-yen shop, and keeps both hot and cold drinks at a comfortable temperature.
It’s lightweight and easy to hold, and lidded types are less likely to spill, making them safe to use.
It’s a thoughtful gift that makes daily hydration a bit more enjoyable.
As a handy item that also supports health maintenance, it’s a present many people will appreciate.
glasses-type loupe
For seniors concerned about diminished vision, “glasses-style magnifiers” are a welcome, practical item.
These magnifiers, available even at 100-yen shops, are invaluable for reading small print like newspapers and medicine labels.
Because they’re a hands-free, eyeglass type, they’re also convenient for knitting and other handiwork.
They’re lightweight, easy to wear, and comfortable for long periods—another big plus.
The simple design makes them easy for anyone to use, regardless of gender.
As a thoughtful, everyday-friendly gift, they’re sure to be appreciated at birthday celebrations in day service centers and similar settings.
leg cushion
Even a small gift is delightful when it’s practical.
The “leg cushion” is one of those items that older adults appreciate for its functionality that you wouldn’t expect from a 100-yen shop product.
For those who spend long periods sitting in a chair, this cushion gently supports the feet, reduces strain on the knees and legs, and makes everyday life more comfortable.
Its soft material and just-right resilience make it very comfortable to use.
It doesn’t take up much space and is easy to store.
It’s a perfect gift for birthdays and other occasions, conveying your care for the recipient’s health.
health stepping machine
Popular as a gift for health-conscious seniors, the “Health Foot Stepper” is a surprisingly practical item you wouldn’t expect to find at a 100-yen shop.
Simply place it at your feet and step down lightly to stimulate your calves and soles, which may help improve circulation and reduce swelling.
It’s easy to use while seated, making it suitable for those who find exercise difficult.
It’s not only a great birthday present that’s sure to be appreciated, but also a health item that’s easy to incorporate into daily life.
A thoughtful gift that expresses your gratitude.
folding fan
A folding fan, which combines seasonal flair with practicality, makes the perfect birthday gift for residents of senior care facilities.
With its elegant appearance and wide variety of patterns—from traditional Japanese motifs to more subdued designs—you can choose one to match the recipient’s taste.
It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and very useful for staying cool in hot weather.
Because it can be used gently without much effort, it puts less strain on the hands—another plus for older adults.
